An Unlikely Subreddit Is Banding Together Against Their Moderators For Deleting A Post Asking For Advice During A War

/r/Aquariums Sonic Boom Post refers to a moderation controversy involving the removal of a Reddit post on the aquariums subreddit related to the Hamas-Israel Conflict. In early August 2024, Redditor /u/WassufWonka made a post seeking advice on how to protect their 33-gallon aquarium from sonic booms emanating from Israeli jets flying over Lebanon. The post was deleted by /r/Aquariums moderators shortly after it went up, prompting other Redditors to brigade the subreddit with more queries related to the war in the Middle East as some felt it was censorship. Following the backlash from users, mods eventually reinstated the original post and stated the initial removal was made out of a concern for people trolling and stirring up drama about the war.
